Financial Planning Bibliography for Graduate and Professional Students
Financial planning is the process of assessing your financial goals, taking an inventory of your assets and estimating what you will need in the future. Financial Planning also includes:
-
Using a monthly spending plan, or budget, to keep your finances on track.
-
Getting the most out of your financial resources, including financial aid.
-
Saving and investing money.
-
Controlling expenses and staying out of debt.
-
Planning your estate.
The following bibliography was developed to assist you to create a pattern of spending, saving and investing to ensure your future financial stability. The publications included were chosen for their clarity, readability and success at making a complex subject easy to understand. The bibliography is divided into three sections: (1) general financial planning guides, (2) educational financing guides, and (3) investing. It is not meant to be an exhaustive listing of the literature, but rather an illustrative sampling of the more popular and current publications on the market.
